The problem of Cheryl was raised at one of the teacher's meetings at Clendon All Girls School.
"Cheryl is totally unimpressed by any punishments we might hand out," griped the English teacher. "She ignores detentions and she's actually hoping for a suspension, so giving her one would be self-defeating."
"She's sitting on the maximum amount of demerit points," complained the History teacher. "Giving her more would be useless and she ignores punishment assignments."
"Worst of all," pointed out the Maths instructor, "She aces all tests. She'll probably wind up dux of the school, and that's too terrible to contemplate."
"I have a suggestion," offered the Home Economics teacher. "As you know, I've been arranging a pupil swap with Lawndale High. Oddly enough, Cheryl has put up her hand as a volunteer to take part in the swap. I've already handed out the school rules to the girls who have volunteered and they have all signed their acceptance of them, including Cheryl and her parents.
I think we should include Cheryl in the group that we send to Lawndale."
"How," demanded the Maths teacher, "does rewarding her with this visit teach her a lesson?"
"Why don't you read the Lawndale school rules, taking note of the fact that Cheryl is eighteen and has signed her agreement to said rules. As a matter of fact, I have a copy of the rules here."
Fishing around in her bag, the Home Economics teacher fished out the relevant document.
"Rule 34 is one you might find interesting," she said.
As a result of that little discussion Cheryl, much to her surprise, found herself included in the swap group. Why, she wondered, were the old biddies letting her out of their clutches? Something was fishy.
Something fishy or not, Cheryl soon after found herself at Lawndale, getting acquainted with the faculty and students. The first day passed quietly while she acclimatised.
The second day, Cheryl tested the waters, as it were, causing a few minor disruptions. Various reprimands were blithely ignored as Cheryl started to push the staff a little harder, seeing what she could get away with.
The last two periods for that day were physical education, a subject that Cheryl disliked. She deliberately turned up late for it, causing a minor disruption.
"I'm Sam Ogilivie," the PE teacher told her when she walked in. "You're one of the swap students, aren't you. Cheryl, isn't it? Why are you late?"
"Because I don't like fucking PE," said Cheryl airily.
Sam nodded contemplatively.
"In that case, I'll give you a chance to explain why. After the lesson. You can go straight to my office after this and we'll have a little chat."
Cheryl smirked. She could sense another detention about to be assigned. And ignored.
After PE, Cheryl went along to Sam's office and was told to sit outside and wait while he made a phone call. After five minutes she was called in.
"Now Cheryl, leaving aside your dislike of PE, did you have any other reason for being late?"
When Cheryl shook her head, Sam continued.
"So we have you being deliberately late for a lesson, swearing and disrespectful towards a teacher. That's just my class. I've just checked with your other teachers for the day and been given a rundown on your activities. They're leaving it for me to handle.
I believe before you were allowed to come to Lawndale you were given a copy of the school rules, which you and your parents signed?"
Cheryl agreed, cautiously, not sure where this was going.
"I see. And did you actually take time to read the rules?"
Cheryl nodded. "Of course," she said.
"Then do you think you can remember what rule 34 says?"
"Um, not offhand," admitted Cheryl. "You'll have to refresh my memory."
"I'll do that shortly. However, first I'd like to point out that your behaviour at school today has been atrocious and will not be tolerated. The number of demerits you've earned today easily entitle you to at least two detentions, but I've noticed that the demerits you've brought with you from Clendon are already maxed out.
Neither have you been willing to reduce the number of demerits by serving detentions given to you or for that matter any other type of punishment.
That brings us to rule 34. You might like to reread it."
Sam passed Cheryl a copy of the rules and she leafed through them until she reached the relevant rule and read it.
"It just deals with corporal punishment," she said. "It says that you use it at Lawndale."
"Full marks. You do know what corporal punishment is, don't you?"
"Of course. It's where you smack a child for misbehaviour."
Sam smiled. "Quite correct, my child," he said unctuously.
Cheryl blinked. He wouldn't. He couldn't. Of course he couldn't, she realised. Her parents would never agree.
"I'm sorry, but I'll have to decline the corporal punishment," she said, smiling. "My parents would never agree."
Sam stood up stepped passed her and locked the door while she watched, shocked.
"You're eighteen, Cheryl, and you've already signed the consent form. It's explicitly stated in the form you signed regarding the rules.
And because you're eighteen, we don't need your parent's prior approval. Now be a good girl and bend over the desk and we can get started."
Cheryl blanched. He was serious. She looked around, hoping for inspiration.
"Don't you have to have a female teacher issue corporal punishment on female students?" she asked hopefully.
"Ah, normally, but it's not a hard and fast rule. The teachers whose classes you disrupted said they'd leave the whole thing to me. Your teachers at Clendon, however, did leave you a message for a time like this. Basically it says, have fun."
Cheryl flushed. The whole transfer thing had been a trap and she'd walked into it. No wonder they let her come. They knew this would happen.
Reluctantly she approached the desk and bent over it. She waited, then squealed when a hand came down hard on her bottom. Hell, that hurt. A pause, and then another hard spank and another squeal.
"That's just a starter, Cheryl," Sam told her. "Before we continue, will you please remove your shorts and panties. We're very traditional here and believe a bare bottom is the best for a good spanking."
"If I don't?" asked Cheryl.
"Then I will remove them and you'll have added to your spanking for disobedience."
Almost choking on her fury, Cheryl undid her shorts fastenings and lowered both them and her panties.
"You had better take them right off," said Sam. "We don't want you tripping on them, now do we?"
Flinging a dirty look at Sam, Cheryl obeyed, resuming her stance at the desk afterwards.
